Proyectos

These are projects with specific goals actively being worked on for the F12 release cycle. They're in rough order of the priority discussed at the 2009-06-19 meeting, But remember, you decide priority by voting with your feet and doing things to move these projects forward.

Decision making process

Articulate and document the consensus-based decision making process of the websites team.

Make a map of "entry routes" to Fedora participation, using websites as a framework - join.fp.o goes to what other pages, which go to what other pages, and so on... and what actions do people take at each page? What sequence of webpages is a new contributor likely to see? Post this to the wiki, send to list for comment.

List the communication channels used by Fedora contributors (IRC, wiki, lists, etc) and resources that already exist to explain their usage. Post to wiki, send to list.

List the location, for each team, where newcomers can go and pick up their first encapsulated task (clear objectives, clear deliverable, clear person-to-deliver-it-to).

interviewing people to find how they got involved with Fedora, and writing up those stories

Ricky: experiences with packaging/infrastructure/web

Hiemanshu: web/sysadmin/sysadmin-test

nb: sysadmin/sysadmin-devel/sysadmin-test/web

Mel: web, packaging

Mel: find at least one feedback-writer from each Fedora team

Further down, here are some things we are considering:

creating "how good is this join process?" heuristics - probably with a lot of help and advice from the design team

Translations

Make sure all webpages are translated for the F13 release.

Team: Nobody yet! Please help!

(We aren't actually worrying about this until the end of July, but if you are interested in picking this up and keeping us from panicking then, that would be awesome. Please email the list if you are keen on this, and someone will respond to you.)

User gallery

Create a gallery for mini-interview-style user profiles and stories. This may end up being in conjunction with existing projects/frameworks/pages such as Community.

Heuristics

Coming up with a list of suggested guidelines and tests against which new and modified websites can be evaluated - things like checking that it works on various browsers, screen resolutions, etc. See /Heuristics. Nobody is working on this.

Fedora Insight

Assisting with the launch of Fedora Insight, in particular the CSS-related work that needs to be done before initial launch; after launch, the back-end infrastructure maintenance will transition to the Websites team, with content and workflow remaining the responsibility of Marketing and FWN. Hiemanshu and Tatica are working on the initial release CSS and are good contact points.

Brainstorms

For things we're thinking about, images we're kicking around, and posting thoughts that might not yet be well formed, see /Brainstorms - a lot of this discussion also happens on the mailing list.

Communicating

Mailing List

The mailing list behind this effort is the websites mailing list. All contributors to this effort and interested third-party site maintainers should join this list.

IRC

The #fedora-websites channel on freenode is the best place to go for chat.

Meetings

Details about the regular meetings for the Fedora Websites team can be found on the Meetings page.

Resources

CSS and Images

One can find all CSS files and images used in the Fedora sites on the web and we encourage the community to use them directly from our urls in a cascading implementation.

This is especially true when working on official fedoraproject.org domains ( things on this list ):
